New from Cambridge University Press!

By Peter Mark Roget

This book "supplies a vocabulary of English words and idiomatic phrases 'arranged … according to the ideas which they express'. The thesaurus, continually expanded and updated, has always remained in print, but this reissued first edition shows the impressive breadth of Roget's own knowledge and interests."

I have endeavoured in this short grammar to give the student a clear notionof the framework of the Roumanian language. Any elucidatory details whichmay be considered not absolutely indispensable in a strictly philologicalhandbook will nevertheless prove useful to those who learn the language forpractical purposes (from the Introduction).

The grammar includes chapters on the alphabet and pronunciation, nominaland verbal morphology, syntax. (Re-edition; originally published 1883 inLondon; written in English)
